Shrimp is an arthropod. Common species include green shrimp, river shrimp, grass shrimp or lobster, etc. The meat of shrimp is relatively soft, so it is easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It is also rich in nutrients. It is not only suitable for middle-aged people, but also for infants and young children. However, it is necessary to do a good job of cleaning when making it. It is best to use tools to remove the shrimp thread, otherwise bacteria may remain. So, how to make freshwater shrimp delicious?

First, how to make delicious clear water shrimp? Rinse the shrimp with clean water, put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, add shredded ginger, minced garlic, a little oil, cook over high heat until the temperature reaches 70 degrees, put the shrimp in, add cooking wine, boil over high heat for 3-4 minutes, add a little salt, chopped green onion, pepper, and serve.

Second, how to judge whether the shrimps are cooked? By looking at the shape of the shrimps in the pot, you can know the degree of tenderness of the boiled shrimps. If the shrimp body is U-shaped, it is the best; if it is V-shaped, it is most likely still raw; if the shrimp tail is close to the abdomen and O-shaped, it is definitely overcooked. Specifically, look at the changes that occur in the shrimp while it is being cooked in the pot. When fresh shrimp are boiled in a pot, they are long and vertical at first. As the heating progresses, the dried shrimp not only turns red, but also begins to change shape, first bending inward, and then forming an L-shaped hook. As the shrimp tail is cooked, it will be tight to the head. When the shrimp are cooked into an L shape, they are basically cooked. When the tail is close to the head, it is overcooked. It won’t taste good if it’s too late. Fresh shrimps are delicious only when they are fresh.

How to make delicious clear water shrimps? The shrimps you buy should be rinsed with clean water first, and the shrimp thread should be picked out. The shrimp head is the combination of the head, chest, and shell. Its stomach, liver and other internal organs are concentrated here. After peeling the shrimp shell, you can see a black line on the back, which is the shrimp's intestine. It is more convenient to use a toothpick. I don't have a toothpick at home, so I use dental floss. Poke the shrimp's back, then pick it up, and you can pick it out. When picking, apply force evenly to prevent breaking it. If you don't pick it clean, you can pick it again later. Shrimp heads and shrimp intestines will inevitably contain some bacteria and are not edible, mainly to prevent bacterial infection. After picking out the shrimp thread and cutting off the head, cut off the shrimp legs and spines and prepare to cook them. Put clean water in the pot, add some pepper and lemon slices, and add appropriate amount of salt and ginger slices. Mainly used to remove fishy smell.
